Mining in developing countries are located in rural areas where agriculture is the main source of livelihood. Mining communities in Ghana's mineral-rich regions engage in food crop production. These regions are actually leading the production of cash crops like cocoa, oil palm and citrus. They also produce in large quantities food staples like plantain, maize, cocoyam, legumes and an assortment of vegetables. The paradox, however, these areas have seen unprecedented boom in activities of ASM. This gives potential negative spillovers to individuals who are involved in farming through environmental pollution and competition for key inputs (like, land, water, and labor). To exam this situation, we employed the impact of gold mining on staple food crop production in Ghana. We estimated the yield of agricultural productivity for major crop in a selected areas where ASM is intensive using both quantitative data analysis and qualitative systemic literature reviewed. It suggests that a 1% increase in ASM production might reduce agricultural production in Ghana. This may be as a result of pollution from mines and agricultural land used by mines. Gold price and mining price have a positive relationship with agricultural production, statistically significant at 0.01 levels. Furthermore, we find that the mining activity is associated with food insecurity (food pollution) and poverty reduction. A simple cost-benefit analysis shows that, the actual fiscal contributions of mines in Ghana wouldn't have been enough to compensate the affected populations considering the hug negative effect mining from ASM.
